After falling in love with the idea behind BitCoins, I wanted see if I could incorporate it into a flash project.I came up with this (currently small) flash bitcoin tournament game.

The idea is fairly simple.The player pays an entry fee into the jackpot to play.At the conclusion of the tournament, the pot will be split amongst the winners.

If things go well and theres some interest behind this, I'll probably flesh out a more defined site offering heads up and smaller scale tournaments.

If youre interested, check out the Beta site here:http://pigames.dyndns.orgThis test run will be finished at 11:59PM EST time on May 6th

I'd strongly recommend playing a few practice games before actually playing in the tournament to get a feel for the game.

The game itself is very simple in design. Its a trivial math game. The objective is to click on the blocks to create a sum of 10. The faster you do this, and the more blocks you use, the higher your score.The game ends after 1 minute.I tried to come up with a game that focuses more on 'skill' than any type of RNG.

I'd recommend pausing your miners if playing this from your mining machine. It uses both Box2D and a particle engine (CPU heavy).I'm also going to be releasing this game into the wild to drum up some BitCOIN awareness (my Facebook games generate around 250,000 views a month).

As for the backend....Im using a 3rd party leaderboard system for keeping track of scores.The user ID will be the payout address for any winnings.I'm also using a 3rd party tool to 'hide' the scores from memory hacks.The swf file itself is domain locked, encrypted and obfuscated.

There is no account system and no need to supply an email (its completely anonymous) - just make sure you supply the right payout address.

If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me or email me at nick [at] handvoodoo [dot] com

-Also..As the main page says, dont ever refresh your browser after submitting a payment or address, everything is handled in the Flash Player, no need to refresh anything, ever.

One feature request : I'd like to be able to see the top few scores without having to pay to play again. If my score is winning I have no reason to play, but I have no way of seeing this until I actually play. If I'm losing, I'd like to know in case I want to try and top the current leader(s). Thanks!

Pretty good point.Ideally the scores would be hidden until you played..but because this design is still in its infancy..theres really no way to notify past players when their score is bested.

To this end I added a little leaderboard slug to the main page so you can see the current leaders and keep track of your position.I also cleaned up some stray CSS that was causing a display bug (may need to clear cache or F5 the page to get the new one).

Good idea, good execution. A little pricey maybe. We need bitcoin farkle, can you do this?

The next tourney will be adjusted to combat the sudden spike in BTC price.Also, I'm pretty embarrassed to say that I had to google Farkle =/The game itself would be easy enough to make (maybe ~4days) but the multiplayer tie in would take quite a bit longer. Ill definitely tinker around with it and see what I come up with.

I looked into this and it's a display error with Mochi Boards not updating the 'all time' scores with scores from this month.I've kept my own (not displayed) database of scores for backup reasons and I do show that you did infact score 26200 and have paid the entry fee.

I've updated the main page with the current top 3 players and their scores/payout in place of the mochi widget until the display issue gets updated. You may need to refresh to page from cache to view the updates.

Rest assured a score will never be missed.I'm using mochi boards for the display, since its pretty and 'real time'.Scores are also sent to a private database (just in case) andeach time a game is played I am emailed with the players address, what wallet they sent .5btc to and what they scored.

I just played my first pay game and got ~31100 the tx has 2 confirms, but I'm not listed at the bottom. How long should it take? For the deadline it's just when the game was completed right? Don't need a certain number of confirms before midnight?
